Rabbit Awareness Week is September 15th to 22nd September 2012.This year's RAW will be focussing on getting your rabbit vaccinated against Myxomatosis and Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease. We will be offering FREE HEALTH CHECKS and advice for rabbits and their owners during this week in September.Please click here to go to our Rabbit Information Sheet, or visit www.rabbitawarenessweek.co.uk for more details.

We will be stocking a brand new spot-on flea treatment for cats in the very near future. Activyl comes in a box of 4 doses and is different to other products in that:

It is the first flea-treatment with bioactivation; this means the insecticide only becomes active once ingested by the flea. This makes it totally safe to your pet, to you and your children and to the environment

It shows excellent efficacy whilst combined with gentleness for pets and their families

It is MORE efficiaceous than fipronil (the active ingredient in Frontline)

It is a brand-new molecule with no known resistance

It also treats the house wherever your pet goes, killing the flea larvae, thus breaking the flea life cycle

It is pleasant and easy to use

It is water resistant and fragrance free

Please ask us about the benefits of Activyl or see www.activyl.co.uk for more details.

In the next couple of months we will have a on-line shop up and running. You can order from a extensive range of pet foods and accessories direct from the comfort of your home. Options for delivery will include collection from our surgery, or you can have the items delivered to home or work within 24-36 hours.

It is with sadness that I have to announce that Laura, one of our Veterinary Nurses, is leaving us to go and work at a veterinary practice nearer home; we are very sad to see her go and would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all her hard work for the practice and its patients over the years.

On a happier note, we have another Laura (also a registered Veterinary Nurse) starting with us on April 16th. She is most welcome and I hope that she will enjoy working at Wrekin View. There may be some confusion to start with about names though!

June 2012 is Dental Care month, sponsored by Pedigree Dentastix.We will be offering a FREE dental health check for your dog, along with a free sample of Dentastix for him/her. These check ups will be with one of our trained veterinary staff. If your pet needs dental attention, then you will receive a 10% discount. There is no obligation, only free advice and reassurance!
